ConTeXt supports inline math (mathematical formulas set within ordinary paragraphs as part of the text) and display math (mathematics set on lines by themselves, often with equation numbers). Inline math is enclosed in "$" signs, while display math is enclosed in a <cmd>startformula</cmd> / <cmd>stopformula</cmd> paidpair.
